HOT on the heels of the story about an 11-year-old Andover boy with a plaster cast who was excluded from Balksbury Junior School because he could be a danger to fellow students, comes another from a family who say they have had nothing but kindness and help since their son's accident.

Josh Cox, aged three from Picket Twenty, broke his femur in an accident in a shop on 26 April.

Since then he has had to endure traction and a large cast covering most of the lower half of his body as he recuperated.

Now he is looking forward to having his last piece of plasterwork removed and has returned to Littleworld Nursery School in Andover where he has been made very welcome.

"They have been really, really helpful and tried to keep life as normal as possible," said mum Sue Cox.
